Whiteness has a funny way of absorbing ethnicities into itself to maintain it's privileged position under racial capitalism. You'll find that a lot of Cubans, as long as their skin is relatively light and their accent minor/non-existent, have been white for a long time.

I think this is accurate.

Sadly, I don't think he'll face any punishment for this. I think when he does this, he's just revealed to us that these sentiments were already widespread. We'd like to believe that he's misjudged where people are at, but usually his intuition is right and it is we who have misjudged, imo.
